FAQs
What is the primary material of the Fred Perry B708 Tennis Shoe?
The upper is primarily constructed from fabric, specifically canvas, with contrast detailing.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The B708 Tennis Shoe is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering good grip for urban environments. They are not intended for rigorous athletic training.
How do I clean the navy Laurel Wreath embroidery?
Gently clean the embroidery with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the threads.
What does 'vulcanised sole' mean?
A vulcanised sole is created by heating rubber with sulfur, which strengthens and cures it, making the sole durable and less prone to cracking or separating from the upper.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the gum outsole offers some grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the fabric.
What is the intended fit of these trainers?
These trainers are designed for a standard fit suitable for everyday wear. It is recommended to choose your usual shoe size.
How should I store my B708 Tennis Shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appearing discolored or stained.
Use a specialized fabric shoe cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure thorough rinsing if soap is used and allow to air dry completely.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Check the gum outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significant wear is visible, consider replacing the shoes.
Shoe shape is distorted after drying.
Ensure shoes are stuffed with paper or shoe trees while drying to help maintain their original shape. Avoid using high heat for drying.
Laces are fraying.
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Fred Perry may offer replacement laces, or standard flat laces can be used.
